Knights of Labor.
Said a prominent member of the local as-
BOrobly , K , of L. , Friday : "Liko the order
abroad the Knights of Labor of Omaha is
retrograding instead of advancing , and its
numerical strength to-day is fur short of
what It wus ouo year ago. The reasons for
thU are much the same , if not identical , with
these that have weakened the order else *
whore. The principles upon which the or
ganization is based are among tha best over
promulgated. Hut a failure on the pun , of
the loaders both general and local has given
rise to much dissension. Prominent among the
disturbing causes is tha orders antagonism
to trades unions as promulgated by general
Master Workman Powderly. So anxloua
was ho and his associates on the oxeoutlvo
board to make the Knights of Labor the con
trolling power in labor's movements that the
bounds ot prudence were passed and the
claims ot cool Judgment smothered by the
Dvor-zeulousuods of nn unapprounato policy.
The ( mights Invented and promulgated n
cigar label known us the "white label , "
which they issued to local assemblies com
posed of men a greater portion of whom had
either boon expelled from or refused admis
sion to the cigarmukors' international union.
The union cigarmukors who were Insldo tha
order of the K. of L. and outsldo
protested , but their words wore unavailing
as regards u suppression of the whlto label
and la tlio.cnd all the cigar makers who be
longed to the International and the 1C. of L.
Were given the alternative of either leaving
their union or the 1C. of L. They chose the
latter course and have won by so doing ,
This policy was pursued by the K. of L. to
ward nearly every branch of trade. And ut
the sauiu time the order professed to bo the
friend of trades unions. The tatter bodies
formed Into Central Labor unions similar to
the 1C. of. L. and have siuoo achieved better
results than before. Men are no dictators ,
M in thu other order. In this city each
union Is represented In the Central 1C of L. ,
jend all majorities rule. In the 1C. of L. the
action of an entire district assembly could bo
eel ttsido by the general master workman.
It was tliis that caueod the ruuturo between
the gonnral aaunibly und district 49. which
rwulted in the latter' * withdrawal. This
ulto caused trouble in the order. Even in
Omaha , iiiun who hitherto had supported
JPowdorly sided with McGulro , district mas
ter workman of 49 , and loft the order.
"It was this way nil over the country.huu-
dreds deserting the invincible triangle because -
cause they doslrod freedom of action.
Another thing which affected the order us
well hero an abroad , and that was its mush
room growth. Men who worked but had
scarcely intelligence enough to read their
own signature were admitted by the score.
They went in believing that they could nsk
for an advance of wages next day , and if not
forthcoming they could strike and the order
would bacit them. They were mistaken ,
and upon learning of their error doscrtod as
fast as they came in. The order Is now
where it wus eight years ago. Only a recon
struction will save it. "

Mike Conway , who was particularly ao-
tivo during the recent plumbers' strike , is
now foreman of Dennis Fitzpatriclt's shop.

out , bad many wordy battles , but they seem

not so fortunate , and many of them bomg
unable to obtain work , were compelled to
leave the city. Among tbuso was George
McDonald , vlco president of the local union ,
and ouo of the moat level-headed of the strik
ers , George is now working in Denver.
Notwithstanding the fact that tbcso men
could not obtain work : hero , the master
plumbers are now crying for journeymen , so
it would seem that some bad feeling atill
rankles hi the breasts of the bosses.
The attention and energies of the Central
Labor Union has boon directed this wcolc to
making preparations for Labor Du.v , and all
Indications now point to n most successful
celebration. The participants will not como
alone from Omaha , but from Council Bluffs
and the Magia City also. Arrangements
have been inada for a parade in the morn
ing , to bo followed by a picnic in Hascall's
grove. It is fully oxpoctcd that 10,000 men
will participate m the parade. At the prove
there will bo games of all kinds aud speeches
by ox-Senator Van \Vyck and others. Tickets
to the plcnio have boon placed at the low
price of 25 cunts , and it is expected that
every business man In Omaha will purchase
from ouo to ten as ho Is able.
*
No liquor will bo allowed on the grounds.
This Is positive , us. although the fact is not
generally known , the Knights of Labor are
not allowed to participate in any labor enter
tainment where llijuor in sold.
Invitations have boon extended to the flro
department of Omnna and the mail carriers
of the tnreo cities to participate in the fes
tivities of the day and the central union
hopes to BCC a largo representation from
these organizations present. Another moot
ing will bo hold Monday night to make final
arrangements.
The most diligent inquiry has failed to dis
cover the object of Mr. O'Kcolfo and others
in voting against furnishing conveyances for
the working girls nn labor day. President
Lewis , of the typographical union , is pretty
hot over the matter. "Tboso girls. " said ho ,
"work hard for little pay and their interests
are Identical with ours , ana they certainly
should bo taken care of upon labor's festal
day. "
Tno six girl book-binders who walked out
from Gibson , Miller & Hlchardson's printing
house a few weeks ago on account of a threat
ened reduction in waires , are still nut , and
their places have boou filled with others ,
The various unions are haying eight-hour
badges prepared , which they will wear for
the tlrst tiuio on Labor day.
At a meeting of tno committee ot presi
dents of the various labor unions of the city ,
hold last Thursday night , to make arrange
ments for the Labor day colouration , a set of
resolutions was Introduced favoring extend
ing invitations to various oflloials and organ
izations of the city , and nmoug othorsMayor
Broatoh ana the city police. As far aa the
others were concerned , the resolutions
passed , but the mayor ana the police depart
ment were dropped. , A reporter called upon
some of the moatprominent members of the
committee aud asked thorn wtiv this was
done , and in explanation they said that they
thought the antagonism shown the police was
duo to the fact that certain ill-will existed
among tbo men towards the guardians of tbo
peace on account of the many unnecessary
arrests made by them of late , and this was
intended as a rebuke , but that the only rea
son for not extending a special invitation to
the mnyor was that such invitation hud al
ready boon extended in a previous clause ex
tending a welcome to "all fritinds of labor. "

An officer of carpenters' union No. 58 , was
asked last night why it is tnat the union car
penters oxporicnco so much difficulty in get
ting men of their craft to join tbo protective
unions' "Well , " said ho , "thoreaso'n is this *
A great many of the carpenters you BOO in
the city during the fluinmor'moriths ' , learned
their trades in the east , carna west and secured -
cured farms in Iowa , Nebraska and Kansas.
Duriug seven months in the year they will
stay at homo. In the spring they will do
their seeding and after this is done , wilt
strike for the cities and follow their trade
until harvest tune. Their families are living
cheaply at homo und they can come to town
work for 21,75 a day and eena a dollar of that
amount home. They don't want high wages.
At harvest time they go hcmo and take up
farming again , and during the winter live on
their produce and salt what they made dur
ing the summer. Aud that is why that , out
of 1,000 carpenters in this city and South
Omaha , only about four hundred belong to
the unions , " and the knight of the hammer
drove a nail with unusual vehemence.
Is Anybody lo'niamn ?
"An editorial recently appeared In THE
BF.E , " said City Comptrolor Goodrich , "enti
tled 'Nobody to Blame , ' censuring John
Drexel for verdicts brought by tho. coroner's
juries. " The coroner has nothing whatever
to do with the verdicts brought in by the
juries.
I cannot nee any possible source of profit
in the ofilco , from an undertaking point of
view , from the railroads. Last year Burket
had the railroad contracts for tbo burial of
persons killed on the railroad track ? , which
intnna ically amounted to very littlo. I don't
think the campanies have made any con
tracts whatever this year , but are dividing
that sort of thing among the varlons under
takers. Mr. Drexel has saved tbo county
money in not charging for tbo service of
summons upon his juries , and the ofilco can
not pay hlni much , hardly enough for the
trouble.
Mr. Drexel was asked what proportion of
the railroad business ho got. " 1 don't get
over one-ninth of tbo business , " bo said.
"Tbo companiesdividothobusiucssup among
all thu undertakers in the city , and it is ridic
ulous to surmise that there is any money in it
for mo. I have retrained from charging for
jury summons , when I am allowed by law
to do BO , and I might get one-third more
money out of each case than I do. The idea
that there is Dip money in the railroad un
dertaking is preposterous , They limit mete
to $40 on the jobs I do for them , and 1 don't
suppose there is any moro license granted
the others. This idea of my always getting
the tnmo old crowd on the juries is somewhat
unjust , Business men who are crowded for
time don't want to servo on coroner's juries.
I have tried time and again to got business
men who are representative to servo as jur
ors but they cannot do so for many reasons ,
aud candidly I cannot blame them much. "
Another Saloon Man Acquitted.
Fred Hunzlker , a saloon man at 413 South

itous and vinous liquors on Sunday. A jury

Calvary Baptist Church.
Brief , but replete with qood works , has
boon the history of Calvary Baptist church.
Nearly three years ago , on November 25 ,
1880 , the church was organized with forty-
nine members , most of whom came from the
First church. A call was given Ilov. A. W.
Clark , who bogau work as pastor January 1 ,
1887.
1887.Meetings
Meetings Were held in a chapel on Saun-
dora etrcot , which had boon built on a leased
lot by the first church. This chapel was
given to the church , but all felt the great
need of possessing a lot on which to build a
permanent home. Early the following
spring , stops were taken to secure one. The
result was that ono of the bust locations
for a church in the northern part of the oity
was purchased at a cost of 5,700. The lot is
situated on the southwest corner of Twenty-
sixth and Seward streets.
A loan of (4,500 was obtained to give tbo
young society financial strength to make a
good start. The old chapel on Saunders
street was used for two years , and then sold
to the Welsh Presbyterians for $000.
The growth of the church was such that ,
within the first year , the cliapol was found
to bo too small , so that early in the second
year a movement was inaugurated with the
uuildlngof a new homoon their own lot in
view.
The building , which i a plain structure ,
was completed last December. It is 40x00
foot ; is provided with conuonlont baptistry
and robing rooms , ban good powu with
curved scat backsfini3lmd with walnut trim
mings ; is lighted with gas and heated by
furnace ; bus a leuturo room and pastor's
study in front , with folding doors opening
out to tbo audience room , and has a gallery
above. The whole Boating capacity of the
building is 450. About (10,000 U the cash

cial prosperity. fconU ! time was
occupied at first1 'UK In becoming
acquainted with each oth&r and the worlc on
the field. It was sooru found that a con
genial band of Christians nad been brought
together. Indeed , the secret of the spiritual
growth is that tmrmonyund good will buva
always ruled supreme in its councils , Con
versions have been frequent in the summer
months as well as In thouAviator. During
the brlof tlmo of the churcb'e existence , 147
members have been addodHto the member

church during the last sixmonths ! , or since
entering the now buildings
Some have been grantodilettcrs to other
churches and one hasdied. The present
membership is 173 , n not guiti of 127 ,
The enterprise of the .tihurch was mani
fested over two years agowhon ; two missions
were founded. Ono watrlnt Central Park ,
tbo other at Orchard Hill. Occasional
preaching eorvices have bean held , and both
have grown in influence and membership
uutll the present. Quito a number of con
versions have also been reported. The mis
sion school at Central Park has eighty young
poonlo in regular attendance , aud a mission
prayer mooting of from twenty-five to
thirty. At Orchard Hill the attendance is
moro than nlnoty , and the prayer meetings
have been a marked spiritual power in the
community.
In its period of prosperity , the church has
thought not alone of itself , but has done
much in a benevolent way. An active inter
est has boon taken in city evangelization aud
general homo mission work. Annual contri
butions have also been made to foreign mis
sions , the Baptist publication society and tbo
cause of education.
An example worthy of great pralso and
emulation by nil the churches is the taking of
a collection once each month for the
poor of this city. Thus far , for mission work
and for the poor , moro than $1,200 have boon
contributed.
When the financial strength of the mem
bers and the amounts tnoy have paid , in a.d-
dltlon to this for permanent improvements'la
considered , a fair idea may bo obtained of
the liberality which has existed from the
first. Prospects fortho further growth and
prosperity of the church are indeed flattor-
iug. ' .
Kestfnlncss Next to Godliness.
Midsummer godliness is palsied in its out
ward observances by grateful midsummer
inactivity.
But not entirely , however.
That vigorous , aggressive band , the Y. M.
C. A. , continues to add to its ranks the youth
of the city and to plan for their present en
tertainment and future benefit.
Methodists not as many as might have
gone , nor as many as were expected to go ,
but , otter all , a very good number loft the
city early in the week for Beatrice and tbo
state encampment , now in full sway.
Addresses , discussions , music and rest ,
alternate to shorten the joyous days in camp ,

way.Ono gentleman who has n pulpit , and fills
it too , audaciously remarked only a few days
ago that the cause of religion wouldn't suf
fer a bit if all the long-winded discussions
were dispensed with and the vacancies filled
with fishing excursions , But perhaps bo
judged for Himself alone ,
Nothing but death can break up tbo ice

Nor should these same socials bo sneered at

orthodoxy , for they rcpreaont the ladles'
way of extending financial aid to the work
of tbo church.
A Call For Aflsiatance.
Hoy. D. R. Kerr , state clerk , has sent the
following note to the churches of Omaha
presbytery ; "Tho Presbytery of Omaha
asks tivo cents per member from all the
church for presbyterhm evangelistic work.
Last winter our evangelist , Hov , K. M. L ,
Braden , visited ton churches. All were re
freshed and inspired. Five of these which
had boon pastorless for a year or years , now
have regular preaching uud new vigor.
Moro than 125 persons were brought to
Christ.\AVo wish to roach every church with
this help. It is solf-holp. Please toll your
people about this and collect the amount at
onco. Send it to the treasurer. Please do
not delay , These desiring Mr. Bradon's
services during the coming autumn or winter
should write mo at once. "
Civil Sbrvloo Keforin In the Pulpit.
Many ministers of all denominations in
this city have received circulars sent out by
a Mr. Herbert Walsh , asking that they
preach next Thanksgiving day on civil serv
ice reform.
His request states that the Christian clergy
and ministers of the country are , under the
plan proposed , only asked to advocate civil
sorvlco reform BO far as it involves funda
mental principles of righteousness , and , as
upon investigation , they find tbo reform to
bo a necessary means for saving the federal ,
state and municipal governments from in-
oDlcioncyand corruption , and rendering them
honest aud faithful servants of the pooplo.
Thu far the question of the reform may
fairly bo considered a * coining within the
legitimate "domain of the Christian pulpit ;
and as being inseparably related to Christian
morality ,
None of tbo Omaha ministers have yet an
nounced their pulpit subject for Thanksgiv
ing day , but it is7 possible that some emi
nently practical divine will respond to Mr ,
Walsh's desire.
Church Notes.
Presbyterians of this oity are discussing the
advisability of holding a state convention
during each midsummer , tor blblo study , and
the enlarging and establishment of believers
in holiness. It would bo similar to that held
by Mr. Moody , at Northfiela and other
places.
D. L. Moody writes that ho con not see his
way clear to como and aid in an evangelistic
campaign in Nebraska on account of his work
